I've been doing machine leg workouts forever and finally decided to do barbell squats and dead lifts for the first time

:dwillhuh::merchant::merchant:

I literally couldn't walk brehs wtf!? I didn't even do as many reps per set as I usually do and used much less weight. I've never experienced that before. I was literally falling all over the place like I was having multiple strokes

This is my new favorite workout brehs :whoo::ohlawd: can't wait to do it again. I want to leave in a wheelchair next time.

I don't feel like I have been mentally into a workout for weeks. One one hand I'm accomplishing the goals for that day, on the other I feel like I'm just there.

I'd say if it isn't affecting your workouts it shouldn't be too much to be considered about. Maybe change something up so you feel better mentally when you workout maybe?

Alright guys right now my lower body routine has me doing

Lower 1:
Back squat
Convential Deadlift
Walking lunges
Step ups

Lower 2:
Front squat
Deadlidt variation
Walking lunges
Step ups

For my deadlidt variation would be better if I did RDLS or back extensions. Just not sure what would be better to do on my 2nd lower day.

Where do you feel the most muscle activation on your conventional deads?

I`m taking the day off, might do some cardio tonight if I feel restless since I`m working from home, today would normally be my 2nd leg day for the week, but I have not tracked macros all week, so recovery hasn't been as good as it normally is lol, I`m kinda ready for Fall just so I can lock and load mentally on this diet, Doesn't help they building a Chick Fil A down the street from the crib either :flabbynsick:.

Saturday is Chest day, probably going to switch to Dumbbells for bench for a few weeks.
